Gutsy grandmother Kathy McDonough experienced her first leap into the unknown in the resort while visiting family on both sides of the Tasman two years ago.
"I had never heard of bungy before I came here and my grandson Keith took me for a walk around the gondola and the next thing I knew I was jumping off [A.J. Hackett's] the Ledge [Bungy]," Mrs McDonough said.
For her second trip down under, her grandchildren organised a thrill-seeking adventure itinerary which involved a series of surprise bungy jumps, to her delight.
"I didn't know anything about it, but my great-grandniece Kim organised for me to do [A.J. Hackett's] the Nevis [Bungy] along with her new boyfriend, which was grand.
"Then we went up to Auckland and jumped off the Auckland Harbour Bridge as well and I loved it."
Mrs McDonough took the plunge for the fourth time at the original home of bungy, the Kawarau Bridge, on Friday.
"It was really neat because you didn't have to be pulled up again - I really liked that.
"But the walk back up was the hardest part of all."
Impressed onlookers clapped and cheered and she had some advice for those who have never done a bungy.
"The time will come when you can't do this any more.
"The alternative is to sit at home and knit and I am not ready for that."
People over the age of 75 jump free of charge at A.J. Hackett Bungy sites.
The oldest person to bungy at the Kawarau Bridge was a 94-year-old man from Owaka, who jumped three years in a row.
Auckland set a record last week when an 89-year-old man jumped.
The oldest person to jump at the Nevis was 78.
